the cause OF some hair loss, and tricho-
logists should study and test the ques-
ton when they had an opportunity Ct
witnessing the commencement Of eXtsn-
sive hair falling, when no other cause
could with certainty be proved or even
assigned for it. It was becoming an in
creased belief that dogs were subject to
some unknown disease which caused
badness to human beings. Cases OF this
kind had been brought within his
view and had induced him to give 8
good deal Ct attention 10 the subject
In one instance Mr.. Wheeler said g
gentleman, an artist, had g large back re-
triever dog whose coat had suddenly be-
come gray, in fact, almost white, and it
was beng shed in such large quantities
that he could not be had in the house
without everything he touched became
covered with hairs. This gentleman had
beautiful head of hair when re first
spoke about the dog, but when he came
again next year he was quite bald. He
also said that the female servant that at
tended the dog had lost nearly the whole
OF her hair.
For himself, he was convinced that the
continuous electric current was the most
active and efficient hair stimulant of the
day. It was a remedy of great thera-
peutic valu when used as an accessory.
to other remedies.

It was an ex-Confederate soldier al
Sheffield, Ala, who was giving some Of
his experiences at the battle Of Fort Don
elson. He was an officer and had 3
young colored man for his cook. When
the Coniederates, or great bulk OF
them. decided, after hot ii snt, TO with
draw from the fort, the, Captain looked
around for his servant, but the negro
was nowhere TO be seen. The officer
mounted log snd called oat in loud
tones for his servsnt, and pretty soon
was answered, but in such faint tones
that he could not for awhile locate the
cook. Cs sar finally made il plain that he
was in the log under the officers feet,
and was ordered 10 come out.
"Can't do it," he shouted in reply.
"But you must. The fight is all over"
"But c6n't-dar's TO- white men in

And when the officer investigated, he
found that such was the fsct. They craw-
fshed out, one after another, each having
an excuse TO urge, and finally the darky
appeared. Tae officer WAS about to open
on him, but Caesar protested:

Ladies who hereafter get on or Off the

order has just gone forth from the mag
mates Of the new horse railroad company
which has swallowed all the Old roads TO
the effect thai no driver can turn mis-
head 20 the right or lett while on duty on

front platform, aud the door sticks SDd
she can't open it, she must stand there
and wait until some ore beside the oriver
can offer her the needed assistance. This
order has been in force about week, and
many are the complaints that have been
made against the innocent drivers for
their supposed tnoughtlessness. The
moral, of course, is 10 get On and OF by
the rear platform.
In accordance with another recently
promulgated order, conductors will be

FIRST PRUsSIANS IN PARIS.
Not The Whole Army, but Three Horsemen,
Who Rode Down the Avenue to the Arc
de Criompbe.

Who Rode Down the Avenue to the Arc
de rriompbe.
Philadelphia Letter TO New York Herald.
Among the many who read with inter
est the review in the Herald last Sunday
of Mr.. Z. B. WaEhburne's last literary
work, Recollectiers of q Minister to
France" was Mr.. Albert D. Levinger, 8
prominent gentleman, VINO is now 8 guest
Of the st. George hotel in this CITY. In
the Hersld's review special reference WAS
made 10 the singular fact that Paris, sitter
the Frsnco-Prussian war, was first en-
tered by three hussars, and not, as gen.
orally supposed, by so, 900 Prnsslan troops
in body.
This curious incident, which proved to
be OF but minor Importance, but which
might have ended the armistice and pro-
longed the war, seems to have escaped
ell other historians but Mr.. Washburne.
Evidently unaware of the circumstances
attending this singular and hitherto IN
explained episode, Mr.. Washburne dis
misses it in paragraph and Incorrectly
illustrates the blue horsemen as emerging
from the Arc de Triomphe. In the
Hersld's review it was said that
the treaty Of peace provided for the
admission on March 1, 1871, of $4,000
Prussisns into the cspitsl. But they did
not sll come together. On the contrary,
Paris may be said to have been taken
possession of, strange as it may appear,
by three blue hussars. On the morning
OF March 5, at 9 O'Clock, there rode in at
the Porte Maillot, proceeded up the
avenue OF the Grand Army and walked
their horses slowly down the magnificent
avenue of the Champs Elysees with car
bines cooked and finger upon the trigger,
three horsemen, the sole heralds or repre-
sentatiYes of the tremendous conquering
host that had oyerthrown France.
ONE OF THE HoRSEMEN FOUND.
One of these hussars was MIR. LevInger,
then cadet sergeant in the Thirteenth
Blue Hussars. The second was Baron
Won Jagemsn, lieutenant in the same
regiment, and the third was private,

TERRELL, TEX, Dec. 27.-Movers are

named jacobs ssys his camp of FIVE
wagons was raided by trsmps near Ben

some three weeks ago. They only took

was done while the party was some 500
yards from their camp gathering hickory
nuts on Sunday evening. The psrty

deep as wanted, has so much water in it

easy way Of getting rid of some of the
